为什么要学英语?

  • Seminars and writing workshops in poetry, 小说, drama and creative non小说 emphasize small group work, feedback and the writing process.
  • Classroom seminars are creative, whether that means participating in a mock trial of 哈姆雷特, throwing a birthday party for John Milton or examining Civil War artifacts while reading the poetry of Walt Whitman.
  • In-class workshops host guest writers like Tim O’Brien, Brian Turner and Linda Hasselstrom.
